NHK announced the cast for its live-action adaptation of Kazumi Yamashita's Twisted Sisters manga on Tuesday. Yumia Fujisaki plays Tiara Ioroi, Hikari Ishida plays Junko Ioroi, Miori Takimoto plays Rikako Ioroi, and Hisako Manda plays Ryoko Ioroi. Takashi Ninomiya directs, with Masao Iketani and Tomomi Maruyama co-writing. The series debuts on BS and BSP4K in January 2027.
The series follows Rikako, a manga artist who reunites with estranged sisters over their dying father's will. The will requires the five sisters to live together in a mansion, and Rikako learns of a sister she has never met. Only four actresses were named on Tuesday, with Miori Takimoto's Rikako the only previously announced role.
Yamashita launched the manga in Kodansha's Morning in June 2021. The ninth compiled volume shipped on January 22, and the tenth ships on Thursday. Yen Press publishes the series in English.
